I live in Poland near the hannaford. I have to go to work tonight for 11 and I have a stupid Corolla. I don’t mind shoveling to get myself out, but I’d rather not. I guess the storm is coming back? My landlord, who owns the house we live in, just had a triple bypass, so he can’t clear it out. I was wondering if there was anyone in this area with a plow that wouldn’t mind making a pass and I’ll pay them. Just don’t wanna be late to work, or shovel. Not sure how this storm is gunna go but I’m expecting to be hung up in the end of my driveway at 10pm.

Your best bet would be to ask neighbors for their plow guys number or to flag someone down on the street.

Jesus guy it's winter in Maine. Grab a shovel and pull your panties up

OP the is asking for help. No need to be a dick. Especially when you've benefited from the kindness of strangers yourself.

For all you know, OP is disabled and does not have the physical capacity to shovel themselves. Show a little empathy.

You should probably hide your receipts the next time you want to be an asshole to someone asking for help.

Might be hard to find a plow guy this time of year. I searched and searched and had no luck finding someone to take on a one time job.

Request fulfilled.
Now it's time to pay it forward.

Go out to shovel a little earlier than usual.

BOOM! Roasted. In all seriousness I wasn’t asking for a full plow. Just maybe someone passing by that doesn’t mind turning the steering wheel to the right and getting the end of the driveway.
Albitt OP t1_j9qjp1j wrote
I kinda did that. I did break through the end a few times although it wasn’t bad. Snow just started again so I’ll wake up early and shovel if need be.

Ask the neighbors

This is a good way to get it done last minute. A little unplanned cash in the plow-guys pocket might be a good enticement.

Hello! I am also in Poland!
On Poland Community group of Facebook, I keep seeing an ad for "Poland Plow Professionals"
They just help out in a pinch, they don't have regular clients. Seem like nice people. I save the post for later! I can send it to you if you'd like

The difficult to deal with snow has passed—though we'll get a little more around 8pm. You're probably OK if you can get out now.
Rice_A_Roni_W t1_j9qrvq5 wrote
Just let me know if you still need it! I'm not sure they would LOVE their cell phone number posted for all of Maine to see but shoot me a message if you'd like!

When I lived there sometimes I’d stand by the road with $40 in my hand and wave it at anyone with a plow. It rarely took long before someone stopped.

I’d check Facebook neighborhood groups before Reddit .. last year when my husband was deployed I used the neighborhood watch group a few times to get the government sludge plowed from the end of my driveway and they all took venmo

This is good idea. Unfortunately my local group is bunch of right wing political bullshit so I'm not in it. But the group in my son and DIL's area has been really helpful finding plowing and lawn care and stuff like that

And you offered money, like..wtf is up with some people? I hope you find someone homie.
WildlyUnprepared4___ t1_j9qyw29 wrote
Gross. That sucks lol … fortunately it’s a rule for our neighborhood group that if you post bullshit you get kicked out. Tell them “Brandon” put the snow at the end of your driveway and if they help you get rid of it they’ll be sticking it to the man

Corolla's are nice cars. Reliable and good in snow with front wheel drive.

If you are under age 50 then you are a wimp. If not over 60, then tough it out. I'm 72 and still deal with snow.

Using their dead grandma to make them feel shame and hurt… you’re just as much a douchebag but you’ll never own up to it. I hope it’s you who feels this shame. You really ought to, you dick. If you really think you’re any better, you might as well be a billionaire, a lost soul, you cur! I’m not trying to be bitter and angry, really. How old are you? 33? Do better

Still dropping f bombs in the 2020s my dude? You need gods blessings more than I do. Take a deep breath, homie; You'll feel better if you let some of that anger go.
I do agree with you on the need to work on myself because the people who say they don't tend to be the ones that need the most work.

Im gay you dumbass. You know what a homosexual is? I like putting my cock in boy butts. Stop trying to own a gay 20 yr old. really just embarrassing for you. I never said I’m not a deeply flawed and hurt human I don’t get what you’re trying to do even. Just put others down? Is this what you live for? Fix your heart or die.

When we had this issue, often times we would park near the end of the driveway the night before, (once we checked to see if anyone else would be leaving for the night). Then in the morning we only needed the shovel the end of the drive in order to “escape”.
You’ll likely still have to shovel later, unless the landlord knows a plow guy. But at least you won’t be late for work.
